This study aimed to investigate the impact of different personalities in humanoid robots for cognitive training scenarios with olderadults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). In particular, we have designed an application with two opposite personalities based onthe Extraversion dimension of the Big Five Factors model. A user test with 16 Italian-speaking participants diagnosed with MCI aged68+ was performed. The analysis of the data collected suggests that the robot's personality can have an effect on the engagementof such users and also found that participants can discriminate between the two personalities.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the impact of different personalities in humanoid robots for cognitive training scenarios with olderadults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). In particular, we have designed an application with two opposite personalities based onthe Extraversion dimension of the Big Five Factors model. A user test with 16 Italian-speaking participants diagnosed with MCI aged68+ was performed. The analysis of the data collected suggests that the robot's personality can have an effect on the engagementof such users and also found that participants can discriminate between the two personalities.
